This post was sponsored by Lane Bryant through their partnership with POPSUGAR. While I was compensated by POPSUGAR to write a post about Lane Bryant, all opinions are my own.

I remember growing up wishing I could be different, wishing I could be and look like society wanted me to. Somewhere along the line I learned that I was wasting valuable life just wanting to be someone else instead of embracing me, and embracing life.

You see, the world is filled with people of all colors, shapes, and heights. Our uniqueness and our so called “imperfections” are what makes this world fun to navigate. I know it sounds cliché, but it's true. If we were all one-dimensional, and if we all looked the same, we would live in a world that was boring and plain. Instead, we have the opportunity to embrace our differences, and make the most out of the diverse gifts we were all given. Stop worrying about what others think and just BE YOU, EMBRACE YOU!

Even when society is telling you that you have to be a certain way, be assured that you are perfect just the way you are (no pun intended). Many years ago, it was harder for us, plus size women, to feel and be confident because, even when we had the inner confidence, plus size stores with fashionable clothing did not exist. Nowadays, we have a plethora of options. Lane Bryant is one of them. They have fashionable clothing for each stage of your life.

One of the things I like about Lane Bryant is that they are not only a company that wants to sell, sell, sell, they want to challenge society's standards of beauty and inspire women to be confident at any stage. Recently, Lane Bryant launched their #IamNoAngel campaign– a campaign that hopes to redefine sexy. It is a response to Victoria's Secret's “Angels” who people often see as the only acceptable beauty paradigm. But, #IamNoAngel and a huge percent of the population isn't either.

That is why I challenge you to be YOU. Let's begin to create a paradigm shift, one that will embrace everyone's uniqueness and beauty, and will stop the creation of binaries that are so often used to separate people. Whether you are tall, short, cup A or DDD, skinny or not, we are all human beings in search for the one thing we all want, happiness.

#IamNoAngel, I'm a twenty-something year old girl that occupies many social locations. I love school (although I already graduated, yay!), I enjoy dressing beautifully formal, I go out with my friends because having fun is not an exclusive privilege, and I go to work in style, because fashion is for anyone and everyone. I'm a daughter, girlfriend, sister, caretaker, mother to a beautiful chiweenie, and much more. I choose to embrace life, and to work really hard each day to become a better person, a better human being, a better version of me.

I hope that you girls enjoy these outfits that I put together for the different social locations we occupy. Lane Bryant has truly stepped up their game, and they have something for every style, and every personality! If you can buy one item from Lane Bryant right now, run to get the Destructed Super Skinny Jeans, they are simply AMAZING and really hard to find.

I've always been a school girl. I love learning and I love writing. Now that I finished my M.A. I have to say that I do miss school. I miss attending classes, hanging out with my friends at the library, I even miss the stress of finals! Now that everyone is going back to school, I wanted to show you an outfit that I think it's perfect for this school season. The Lipstick T-Shirtis to die for. I don't think you can tell, but the bottom part of the lipstick is kind of gold-ish. The Denim Jacketis another staple item for school. It was hard for me to find a denim jacket that was comfortable, but this one gets an A+. And, what can I say about the black jeans? They are comfortable, stretchy, and modern! You MUST buy them!

These items should be staple pieces in your wardrobe. You can mix and match them to make an infinite amount of outfits that will spice up your confidence this fall semester. Have fun, study hard, and do your best! ____________

Formal events and holiday parties can be stressful, so make sure to check out Lane Bryant's dress selection before you start stressing. This dress is one of my favorites. It's the perfect little black dress with sparkle! Check out moreplus size dresses here! _______

At my job I have to wear more “discreet” pieces, but guess what? Lane Bryant has me covered, they have amazing tops for work and more casual tops that you can be dressed up or down. This top is one of my favorite pieces from their recent collection. I also bought the floral top in the same style! I think they are perfect casual tops that can easily be transitioned to work attire. It is all in the details!
